My science and technology museum - Chapter 490
c490 Are we really rivals?
“Unknown energy fluctuations have been detected and the information is being determined…”
“There is a special situation in the Kuiper Belt. Immediately let all devices carry out targeted scanning to make sure we know the number of enemies.”
…
“The space early warning device screen was captured successfully.”
“Image transmission…”
“alarm!”
“alarm!”
“Signal lost!”
In the Neptune orbit space monitoring station in the solar system, the person in charge looked at the alarm screen flashing on the screen of the monitoring equipment, and his face instantly darkened.
Almost without any hesitation, he immediately shouted to the surrounding staff: “Try to re-establish information connections with the monitoring devices in the Kuiper Belt. We must know who the enemy we are facing is.”
“It’s Director Wang.”
Everyone clearly understood the seriousness of this matter, and all personnel had solemn expressions on their faces.
Quickly issue commands on the console and try to re-establish a new connection with the monitoring device.
As early as thirty years ago, the civilizations in the Milky Way were ready for war, knowing that the Andromeda Galaxy, which is more than two million light-years away from the Milky Way, would take the initiative to provoke a full-scale war.
Therefore, every civilization is always on guard against enemy invasion.
As the birthplace of human civilization and Xu Lei’s home planet, the solar system naturally takes this matter more seriously than other civilizations.
Nowadays, given the status of human civilization in the Milky Way, no civilization dares to enter the solar system.
The newly deployed monitoring devices in the Kuiper Belt cannot be destroyed at the same time, so there must be the intervention of external factors. Even if you think about it with your heels, you know that there are enemies coming towards the solar system.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in any battle. If you can understand the enemy’s strength in advance, you can formulate targeted response plans, which will undoubtedly increase the chances of winning on the human side.
That’s why the center director of the space monitoring station urgently wanted to get the transmission picture.
Unfortunately, the final result was not good news.
While he was anxiously waiting for the results, the voice of the on-site personnel rang in his ears again: “Report to Director Wang, all monitoring devices have been offline.”
“Have the images captured by the device been transmitted?” Director Wang was suddenly startled, and quickly walked to the other party, asking with a very eager look on his face.
Perhaps he had never seen his director behave like this before. While the employee was surprised, he did not dare to hesitate.
He immediately answered truthfully: “Because all the devices disconnected the signal at the same time, only a few images were transmitted back.” At the end of the sentence, his voice became lower and lower, and he did not dare to look directly into Director Wang’s eyes.
I feel deeply guilty for failing to do my job well.
Although he did not hear the answer he wanted, Director Wang did not dare to delay at this time and issued new instructions without any hesitation.
“Bring out the image first.”
“OK.”
Facing the director’s order, the operator nodded, then sat down again and hurriedly projected the several received images onto the main monitoring screen.
Almost as soon as these images appeared, everyone including Director Wang suddenly took a breath.
The pupils shrank suddenly, and the eyes were filled with fear.
It’s not that he lacks determination. After all, if he can work at a space monitoring station at the edge of the solar system, his personal ability will definitely not be much worse.
The scene shown in the main image is really shocking.
Even a little unacceptable.
“Hiss~”
“How can this be?”
Director Wang was the first to come back to his senses, his eyes still fixed on the images on the screen, and he couldn’t help but question them one after another.
Soon the operator also reacted, his eyes also filled with disbelief.
“What kind of torrent of battleships is this? Is the number too many?”
As his words fell, everyone immediately started talking, and many operators present expressed their feelings at the moment.
“Is this the civilization fleet of the Andromeda Galaxy? They have actually arrived at the outer reaches of the solar system!”
“With such a powerful fleet, can we really be our opponents?”
“Judging from these images alone, the number of enemy warships has reached thousands, which is really shocking.”
“Omaika, my God!”
…
What the monitoring equipment in the Kuiper Belt captured was the Imperial fleet group led by Reno and Krippen. Even if only a few images were transmitted, it could be analyzed that the number of enemy warships was thousands.
And they are all medium and large warships.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Milky Way has gone all out to produce Shenwei Star Destroyers in recent years, at most the number of large battleships in the Andromeda Galaxy will be about the same.
There is still a huge gap between medium-sized battleships.
The key point now is that this huge interstellar force is not fighting against civilizations in the entire galaxy, but simply against the solar system.
Everyone knows that the solar system is equivalent to being on the outskirts of the Milky Way. If the Andromeda Galaxy wants to attack the Milky Way, it should be the first to attack the central area and implement the principle of blasting the center and advancing in all directions.
But now it has unknowingly entered the Kuiper Belt in the outer reaches of the solar system. It is obvious what its purpose is.
Although the solar system has established three security defense rings and deployed space blockade devices, only the Alliance’s first and second fleets are currently stationed in the system.
Among them, the Third Fleet is still stationed in the Pioneer Galaxy to protect the safety of the civilization there.
At the end of the day, there are only about two hundred Divine Star Destroyers.
It would be fine if there were only large battleships. With the blessing of the twin plasma cannons and various auxiliary devices of the Divine Star Destroyer, it could compete with the large battleships of the Andromeda Galaxy.
The key opponent still has so many medium-sized warships, and it is difficult to gain an advantage under ship-to-sea tactics.
It can only be said that the Andromeda Galaxy is indeed an old civilization, and its foundation is indeed stronger than that of the Milky Way.
At least there are not tens of thousands of medium-sized battleships in the entire galaxy.
Looking at the problem from this perspective alone, it is true that there is almost no possibility for the solar system to gain an advantage.
Even if it doesn’t last long, the enemy may break through the defense line and cause the entire civilization to disappear from the universe.
In the face of this huge gap, even with Xu Lei, the backbone of mankind, there is no guarantee that everyone is willing to believe it.
Believe that the solar system can successfully withstand the enemy’s attack.
Believe that the Milky Way can achieve final victory.
But at this moment, as the director of the Space Monitoring Center, Wang Zhipeng broke out in a cold sweat.
It’s just that he was not frightened by the Andromeda Galaxy fleet, but was afraid that if everyone continued to discuss it, people would panic and change from a fighting faction to a capitulation faction that everyone hated.
Almost as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately calmed down and shouted in a voice that everyone present could hear: “As the elite of mankind and working here, when did you become afraid of the enemy before fighting? .”
“If anyone dares to spread any negative remarks, I will immediately arrest him for the crime of betraying humanity.”
Wang Zhipeng’s sonorous and powerful voice reached everyone’s ears. The staff who had just marveled at the number of enemy warships suddenly turned red and felt extremely ashamed of their thoughts just now.
Suddenly no more words were dared to be said, causing calm to return to the venue.
Seeing everyone’s performance, Wang Zhipeng was satisfied and immediately issued the order.
“What are you still doing?”
“Immediately report the situation to the Earth-Planet Human Security Alliance Headquarters and the Galaxy Security Alliance Operation Center.”
“We will continue to try to re-establish signal connections with the monitoring devices. We must master as much enemy information as possible.”
“It’s the director.”
With this series of orders from Wang Zhipeng, it was like giving everyone a reassurance, and they immediately answered in unison.
Then return to the fighting state just now and quickly execute these orders.
Judging from the few images transmitted by chance and the loss of contact with the monitoring equipment in the Kuiper Belt, the enemy has probably taken action and is heading towards the solar system.
If a countermeasure is not formulated as soon as possible, no one can guarantee whether this will be a catastrophe for the solar system or even the Milky Way.
However, Wang Zhipeng is just the director of a small space monitoring station and does not have the strength and power to solve the crisis.
All that can be done is to report the situation to the superiors in time and then patiently wait for the order to be issued.
But it has to be said that during the waiting period, Wang Zhipeng was also suffering mentally.
Extremely nervous but also mixed with deep worry.
The space monitoring station he is responsible for is located in the star field near Neptune’s orbit and is outside the solar system’s first security defense ring. It can be said to be the closest to the enemy.
If they cannot evacuate in time and retreat to the defensive ring, the situation will be very critical.
There is a high probability that it will be attacked by the enemy fleet first.
Although he had already prepared to sacrifice for all mankind, he did not want to watch dozens of people on the station die in vain.
That’s too frustrating and regrettable.
Unfortunately, before the official order from the alliance came down, they had to hold on until the last moment.
Never leave without permission.
Just like that, after almost a long period of suffering, a figure wearing the official uniform of the alliance suddenly appeared on the main screen in front of him.
Apparently the senior leadership of the Human Security Alliance.
“The alliance is aware of the situation and is currently holding an emergency meeting. You can temporarily retreat to the ring.”
After hearing the alliance commander’s answer, although Wang Zhipeng looked calm on the surface, he was actually relieved in his heart.
He immediately replied in a deep voice: “Sir, I immediately command the monitoring station to retreat to the first defense ring of the solar system.”
Perhaps it was because the Earth Star Alliance headquarters was already busy, so the high-ranking executive of the alliance hurriedly ended the call without saying a few words.
After all, the enemies have unknowingly arrived in the Kuiper Belt on the outskirts of the solar system. At this rate, it will not take long to reach Neptune and launch an attack on the first defensive ring of the solar system.
Therefore, there is not much time left for mankind at the moment, and a thorough and detailed implementation plan must be negotiated as soon as possible.
Wang Zhipeng clearly understands the positioning of himself and the entire monitoring station. At present, all the monitoring devices in the Kuiper Belt have lost contact, and the monitoring station is like blind and deaf.
There is little point in continuing to stay in the same position.
Moreover, their monitoring station is mainly responsible for monitoring the situation in the Kuiper Belt. It does not have attack capabilities. It is better to leave things like the Andromeda Fleet to a professional team like the Alliance Fleet.
So Wang Zhipeng no longer hesitated, and immediately faced all the staff on the field and announced loudly: “Our mission is now over, and the alliance fleet will be responsible for handling it next.”
“Prepare to start the power engine of the monitoring station. Let’s retreat to the defensive ring first.”
“It’s the director.”
“The power engine is on.”
Along with the operator’s instruction broadcast, you can see that the power engine located at the tail of the monitoring station begins to re-ignite, pushing the huge monitoring station gradually back towards the defense ring.
After all, the defense ring located on Neptune is the first security defense ring in the solar system, and it has undergone many transformations and upgrades. In terms of defense level, it is definitely stronger than the other two lines of defense.
Even if the Andromeda Galaxy sends a larger number of warships this time, it will still not be able to conquer the first ring in a short time.
at the same time.
Just as the space monitoring station was heading towards the first defense ring, the Earth-Star Alliance headquarters also held an emergency meeting immediately.
Except for the members of the Planet No longer participating online, other members must arrive in the shortest possible time.
This naturally includes Xu Lei.
Ever since the Milky Way began to prepare for war, Xu Lei has been staying on the Earth Star and living with Chen Shihe.
Previously, he even took the risk to exchange for eternal water from the Science and Technology Museum and gave it to the other party at the company’s centenary celebration.
Although Chen Shihe did not use it on the spot, he later made it clear that he had used the potion, but Xu Lei didn’t think much about it.
After all, Chen Shihe had already used genetic optimization fluid and enhanced genetic optimization fluid, and her appearance was similar to that of a girl who had just entered college, with almost no traces of age on her face.
Therefore, even if Eternal Water is used, there will basically not be much change.
After living in Binjiang City for a long time, after receiving relevant information from the Human Security Alliance headquarters, he naturally did not hesitate and rushed over as quickly as possible.
Mainly, although he guessed that the Clay Empire might take the lead in attacking the Solar System, he did not expect to send so many warships, which shows the Clay Empire’s hatred for the Solar System.
However, Xu Lei knew very well that all the hatred of the Clay Empire came from him.
It can only be said that what he did that day in the capital city of Yunlei Prime left a deep impression on the other party.
So much so that they would attack the solar system no matter what.
——
At this time, in the strategic conference room of the headquarters of the Earth-Star Human Security Alliance, with Xu Lei sitting in the main seat, all the alien MPs came online to participate, and listened to him directly explaining the situation straight to the point.
“Just now, we discovered a large number of strange warships in the Kuiper Belt. We have confirmed from all aspects that they belong to the Andromeda Galaxy.”
“It can be said that our situation is already very pessimistic.”
“At this critical moment of life and death, I want to hear everyone’s opinions?”
